Drop Chances

dropped a Witch Hat for me (wearing hodgman outfit, level 49, fairy and some +item drops equipped) --Mars the infomage 05:13, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Dropped a Witch Hat for me. Level 6 PM, was not using any +item equips, except for a 16-lb flaming gravy fairy. --Unnamed Hobo 05:52, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Meat drop seems high on page - I got 19 meat (I'm in bad moon with -30% meat drops though). Encountered in goatlet. --Bigcalm 09:10, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

I got an invisible bag and 13 meat... Only buff is to stat gain.--Poundlor 15:14, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

encountered them in the war on the island in the battlefield as hippie Got this twice in the dungeons of doom. First time dropped the sheet, second time (while I still had the first sheet in inventory) dropped nothing. --Lordebon 11:47, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Either it doesn't scale or it's capped because I killed one with 824 damage while I had 2772 max HP. I got 229 meat and no item with +81% meat drops and +234.11+fireworks item drops. I also got 60, 38, 34 substats on a moxie day. If it matters: I'm a level 40 Turtle Tamer. --Kitsunegami 04:35, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

I have since learned how scaling actually works and feel a bit stupid for posting the above (it was my first attempt at spading). I do, however, have some old item drop data to provide from my spreadsheet where I tracked my eleven encounters with them:

With +234% item drop I received nothing (fireworks: item), invisible bag (fireworks: item), witch hat, witch hat (fireworks: item), invisible bag, invisible bag, witch hat, beholed bedsheet (fireworks: item), nothing (fireworks: item), beholed bedsheet (fireworks: item), beholed bedsheet (fireworks: item).

Until I read the statement below, it hadn't occurred to me that poisoning might affect drop chance and poisoning wasn't something I tracked. --Kitsunegami 08:25, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

It always dropped for me unless they poisoned me. - Super Bob
